Does this unit act as both an amplifier and speaker, or just as a speaker? I ask this because I want to connect it to a zone 2 of my A/V receiver.

Not exactly sure Jerry, but you seem by your question, a little bit more educated on this subject then I , so maybe this will help. I believe it may be both, "because" during an action scene where there is talking and a lot of shoot-em up bang bang, the headset lowers the background (explosions,gun fire,etc) to a point where you can understand what the people are saying.Once to scene changes where there is only one of the audio sounds,either explosions and such or talking, it resumes at the level set by you.

The TrueDio Ears IR model can only be used as a speaker. If you are looking to use the TrueDio Ears as a speaker and an amplifier, than we recommend our new RF system - TrueDio Ears Radio Frequency Wireless TV Headphones - Under the Chin Style - Extra Lightweight Headset - Model TD-210RF

Only if the input source is an analogue signal. It will not pass any other connections (anything hooked up HDMI or TOSLINK) to Zone 2. I even contacted Onkyo about this and asked them why they are even putting zone 2 on these things anymore since EVERYTHING is going digital.

It depends on your setup. I have the Connect which comes with both RCA jacks that allow input into a receiver or AMP. This is great if you have a receiver which does not have streaming. My receiver is a multi zone receiver, thus I'm able to have the connect stream music to my second zone. Some of the more advanced Receivers today have built in streaming. The Connect Amp is if you don't have an Amp and you want to use existing wired speakers. The Connect Amp does not have RCA outputs, while the connect does. the Connect Amp does have a sub-woofer output.

Mine's connected to an amp and the amp is connected to the speakers. As rjcolgan said, you choose the receiver or amp and the speakers you wish to use. Fantastic CD player by the way - I've had mine for about five years with not a bit of difficulty and great sound fidelity.

You can use the output of zone 2 as the analog input of the main zone. Put anything you want on zone 2 (except airplay apparently) and change the main zone to the analog inputs. This is a trick we use with automation systems.

You have to connect the out put of this unit to an amplifier or stereo system with an input for CD players or auxiliary input . You cannot hook speakers up directly to this unit.

After cabling my A/V pack (with a Zune 120) to my audio system, I'm getting sound through only 1 speaker. I tried re-seating the red/white/yellow cable on the audio with the same result. Any suggestions? Thanks.

In our case, we connected it to the audio output of the amplifier which goes to the speakers that use RCA jacks. Not a common configuration.

After reading the other reviewers answers, I had my FH running instead of width or rear and zone 2 in 5.2. I know in the " speaker set up" menu section on 818 you could choose which amp assignment to use. Look in there on your A/V and that should answer your question. I think I'm right though. Why else would they offer pre- out to FH/SB/FW etc...

That is how the description of this speaker read. That is how I have it hooked up but I have to get a new A/V receiver to hook it up. I expect that it will work fine. Time will tell...

Yes, ass a passive (as opposed to active) subwoofer, it receives its power from the receiver. The only connections to the subwoofer are for speakers IN and speakers OUT.

I use my BBE as a DJ but you can connect between speakers and your amp/receiver to getthe same rresults. Receiver to input and speakers to output. The sound is amazing.

Hello and thanx for your reply. Yes, Zone 2 is active. I just need to know what kind of connections for audio from DirecTV receiver to Onkyo receiver. What I have tried hasn't worked. I know it is analog sound only out of Zone 2. Going to contact Onkyo and see if I have any luck.

Yes, this is just a speaker package. You need an amp or A/V receiver to drive the speakers and sub.

This is not a stand alone unit. If you can connect the audio cables from this unit into a receiver then it will play through your speakers. You cannot connect speakers to this and have it play music, it is not a power (amplifier).

This unit is for pro use, All outputs are non amplified RCA jacks. The output goes to your amp, and your amp will provide power and connections to your speakers.

Frank, there is no "A" or "B" speakers, just "Front". If you need to wire a second zone, you have to connect the speakers to the upper front or surround back input, I don't remember well right now. Regards and good luck.
